Sinus surgery is a common procedure that is performed to remove blockages in the sinuses. The sinuses are a network of air-filled cavities in the skull that help filter and moisten the air we breathe. However, they can become blocked due to infection, allergies, or structural abnormalities.

One of the leading causes of sinus surgery is nasal polyps. Nasal polyps are small, noncancerous growths that develop on the lining of the sinuses. They are usually caused by chronic inflammation and are often associated with allergies, asthma, and infection. While they are not usually painful or dangerous, they can cause breathing difficulties and a loss of sense of smell.
Another reason for sinus surgery includes correcting a deviated septum, which is a condition that can cause the nose to become crooked or overcrowded.
Lastly, sinus surgery can also be used to improve drainage from the sinuses
Nasal polyp surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed to remove the polyps and correct any underlying conditions that contribute to their development. The surgery is typically endoscopic, which means that your surgeon will insert a thin, lighted instrument into the sinuses to gain visibility. They will then use small surgical tools to remove the polyps and any other obstructions. You will be moved to the recovery room immediately after your procedure, where you will be monitored closely for a few hours. In most cases, nasal polyp surgery is successful in relieving symptoms and preventing the recurrence of polyps.
